Mine was probably Digimon World (PS1). I remember that my family shared a save, and boy howdy anytime my turn landed on the in-training digimon we’d be screwed, because I trained them so shoddily we’d get the sentient puke monster.
But my first game I played with any sort of competence was Herdy Gerdy (PS2), a cute puzzle game where you’d herd made-up animals with instruments and stuff. I 100%ed it as a kid, but it really does still hold up!
Tell me, Burggit people, what were your first games? 😺
My first experience was when a friend let me play Pokemon Blue on their Gameboy. I wondered why it was called Blue when it was monochrome.
Later on I’d ‘borrow’ my brother’s GBC to play Donkey Kong Country. That game really kicked my ass, but started me down the gaming path.
I think the first game I finished by myself was the Finding Nemo GBA game lol.
